Hello,
I have a quite common problem : portability :(
I wrote a Perl script that works perfectly under Linux with Perl 5.8.8. Very
confident, I try to run it under Windows with the lastest release of
ActivePerl, and all required modules. But annoyances come quickly :(
Perl returns me an error message : "cannot use initialized value in null
operation". My first idea about the problem was the utilisation of the fork()
primitive : I know it presents some limitations under Windows. But after
reading the fork() information page of ActivePerl, it seems I'm not concerned
by these limitations.
I learned, by reading the previous documentation, that ActivePerl uses threads
to emulate posix fork(). I use DBI for my script, and it seems DBI is not
really thread-safe, or at least, it may bring problems. But this is only an
hypothetical reason.
If somebody has skill about such problems, help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Mickeal,
We'll be happy to help, but you need to give us more to go on. Show us
your code--enough that we can see what's going on in your program--and
tell us which line is causing the error. Then we can help you fix it.
The number of things that might possibly cause a particular error
message are almost infinite; we need to see why your code is causing
it.
Best,
